Thanks to our inclement British weather, the grass courts at SW19 this week are looking greener than a vineyard, and some terrific sporting action should banish any summertime blues.

In between bright spells and showers tennis fans, thirsty for some speciality serves, will be thronging to hospitality tents, but tipplers don’t need a courtside ticket to soak up the garden party atmosphere.

Official champagne sponsor Lanson is celebrating its 30th year at the tournament, and Lanson Rose Label (£36.99, major retailers) will be adding some summer sparkle to picnic blankets on the Tea Lawn, and tennis-inspired parties with a big screen.

Another grand slam pour, Jacob’s Creek, is the official wine sponsor, and has created some delicious wine cocktails which will be served during the two weeks.

For a refreshing spritzer, try Jacob’s Creek Sauvignon Blanc, S E Australia (£7.89, Tesco) in this classic favourite that’s tuned to the matches.
